Chapter 159: The Inventory

"Okay, now I need to make your bodies."

Hades raised his hand.

"I understand that we need bodies, but why are we in the bathhouse."

"It's soundproof."

Hades has a light blush. I smirked.

"You do realize I can only make the body right? We're gonna need to get clothes for you after the fact."

"Well, yeah… but it's… you know…"

"Awkward?"

"Yeah."

"Fine, I'll do you first then you can wait in the change room until Asmodeus is made."

"But what if someone comes in?"

"Then hope it isn't Thalia."

"You're mean!"

"You are literally a former demonic general."

"… well yeah… but… I don't have a response to that."

Then Asmodeus spoke.

"I understand that we will be without clothes, but why do you need to be in that state?"

"If I'm here I may as well take a bath, and who in their right mind takes a bath with clothes on. Besides, I have a towel."

"I um…"

"Alright, let's get this over with before Hades has a meltdown."

I reached out and I used creation.

He started screaming, but surprisingly, it was like eating a pepper for me.

"Huh, I expected more pain."

"I felt so much pain…."

"Alright, now get in the change room, and here's a towel. Oh, and no one should come in, I put up a sign."

"What sign?"

"Private happenings… which I now realize could be misunderstood very easily."

"Yeah…"

"Let's hurry this up."

I made Asmodeus's body easily and got both of them in the changing room with towels. Then I got dressed and warped to Thalia.

"Hey Rose, what is it?"

"Perfect, Dallel is here too."

"Okay?"

"I need a pair of clothes in both of your sizes."

"Why?"

"We have a pair of angels I just made bodies for, and my clothes are too small for them."

"Small? Oh, now that I think of it, you are your normal height again."

"You just noticed? I was like this since my journey to Hell."

Oh, you didn't notice either? Yeah FEAR is now a level 9 and I am shorter again.

"Anyways, I just need a pair of clothes."

"Alright."

Dallel went and grabbed a pair. Same with Thalia, so I ported back.

"… Am I interrupting something?"

"GAH! Uh, no?"

"Are you two romantically entangled?"

"NO… yeah."

"Cute, anyways I got your clothes…. But take your time~"

"ROSE, YOU-"

I warped into the baths before she finished.

"Now to actually relax."

I cooed in comfort…

…

The heck are you still doing here, go look at Dallel or something.

_

"So, how do you think that the duo are doing."

"I don't think it's Asmodeus and Hades, I mean, she called them angels."

"Speak of the devils…"

In came Asmodeus and Hades with a deep blush.

Then Thalia, as normal,

"Ooh, did something happen in there?"

"It's incredibly awkward to be walked in on by Rose."

Thalia snickered.

"I'd imagine… Where is she?"

"Who knows, she portaled away after making a crude joke."

Then Rose showed up.

"That was a relaxing bath."

Then she looked at the duo and smirked before walking to the bar.

"Silas, could I have my usual?"

"Rose, what is this?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Why do Hades and Asmodeus have metallic wings."

"Oh, I reinstated them as angels using a grace modified to be based in my power."

We blinked.

"And how the heck did you do that?"

"I made a crafting menu in Luma's mechanics."

"Did you ask her if you could do it?"

"Yep."

Sona nodded.

"She did, but my sister thought it was an automatic message and accepted without reading it, so she was caught off guard."

"Yep, but it's a little late to reverse it."

Then Asmodeus snickered.

"What?"

"Rose, you may want to be slow on leveling Universal Dominance."

"Heh?"

She had a skill called Universal Dominance?!

"Why shouldn't I level it?"

"Because we are currently stronger than we were as angels, so now remember who you'll bring when it levels."

"Milel… and her whole faction."

"Yeah."

"Oh dear…"

"How long would it take?"

"To make enough grace and blessings? Probably about 3 weeks if I do one every 5 seconds."

"With sleep?"

"Nope."

"Oh dear…"

"Yep, you know what, I'll just make a stockpile of grace."

"What happens if it breaks?"

Rose stopped for a moment.

"I'm going to ask Luma if I can make a storage system."

Then Amy smiled.

"Like an inventory?!"

"Exactly. I mean, just imagine how useful that would be!"

"OOH!!!"

While me and Amy were gushing about the inventory, Luma and Amanda came walking in talking about something.

"OOH, Luma, perfect timing, can I make an inventory system?"

"What?"

"Like a storage that only I can access that will also prevent things from rotting and breaking."

"Only if you make it universal."

"Oh, that would make a lot of things more convenient. Of course, there will item limitations."

Then a glowing square appeared in front of her, and her hands began moving too fast for us to see her movement, even Luma was blinking in her struggle to keep track.

"Let's say a maximum of 40 unique items that can stacked up to 64. By applying bags, we can max it out at 100."

"Huh?"

"Weapons and armor obviously can't be stacked but still allow it in."

"Wait."

"Ooh, maximum weight, you can only hold up to a maximum of what you can regularly carry, but what is directly in your hands or out of your inventory won't count to the weight."

It was clear that she was no longer listening to us.

"Living beings can not be stored, but what about corpses… why not? Hmm…"

She stopped for a single second.

"Ooh, you can trade directly from the inventory, between other's inventories."

Luma blinked.

"Wait, hold on a minute!"

She was going a bit above and beyond.

"And done."

"I didn't say you could add trading!"

"That's standard with inventory, besides you have to pretty much be right next to the person, it just clears the chance of being scammed."

Luma blinked.

"That… isn't a bad idea, actually."

"Okay, setting permission… Everyone… including non-system."

"Uh."

"Submit?"

"Why not?"

She clicked something, then an automatic announcement sounded.

[The Owner has created a new system mechanic called Inventory. A tutorial is being sent along with this message on how to use said mechanic, it also explains what limitations there are.]

[Message from Owner: Have fun with it, I worked hard :)]

"I like the message, but did you have to add the emoji?"

"Why not?"

"… Alright."

"???"

Her innocent face annoyed us to no end.

Then Darsen asked an interesting question.

"By the way Rose, how large are you now? Like, in your dragon form."

"I don't know, let me check."

She walked out of the gate and waved at the guard before walking all the way to the forest.

"I wonder if she'll still reach the city."

"That would be funny."

The forest was half the length of the city away, so if she could, then she would have to be absolutely massive.

Then we hear her from the distance.

"Unshift."

Then the reflective scales appeared, and we all blanched as we saw the absolutely massive beast that lay before us.

She was larger than the capital. She was ¾ as wide and 4 times the length. All in all, she was massive.

"So, I think I got a little bigger."

Her voice caused the ground to shake. It was a boom on the level of a tidal wave.

"Just a little bit."

"Shift."

She became the small catkin with FEAR aspects again.

"That will be useful in battles."
